Artist: David C Mendoza

A World Gone Mad

I am Aesthetic on the edge. Artist. Curator. Designer. Writer. Actor. A self taught artist with the agenda to create. Spontaneous in the execution of my creative inspiration I am motivated in a pure process. It is through humor, pathos, social commentary, nature, and beauty my vision and relevances take root. Like the caveman I simply leave my mark! It is through abstract and representational styles I integrate a fusion of my content and structure seemingly without technique. "Gentle in form and inspired by nature, his paintings reveal a new reality created through a combination of delicate lines and equally disturbing spots. His is a daunting world that astonishes and evokes a sense of mystery instead of suggesting an explanation." Anna Krowplewske, Curator, City Museum, Toru?, Poland. I was born on the sunny shores of the Gulf of Mexico inTampa, FL, raised in a subculture of Spanish, Italian, Cuban, and Mexican. Colorful. Festive. Loving. For 4 years I attended the University of South Florida majoring in Liberal Arts and Psychology which layered the foundation for my creative life. Since 2014 my international travels and exhibitions have placed my work in acquisitions in museums and important collections in India, Tunisia, Poland, Turkey, South Korea, and the USA. Through my art I find I am sentimental and unwavering in my dedication to the creative experience of an artistic life. "Let each man [woman] exercise the art that he [she] knows. " ARISTOPHANES
